Your first session with Stephanie
Your first session is all about you! (And honestly, every session is all about you!) I will encourage you to share about what's important to you, and the factors you feel are leading you to seek input and support from a dietitian. I will ask about your health history, food intake, various aspects of your current health (sleep, stress, lifestyle, for example), and a typical day in your life - with lots of questions in between. I truly seek to understand as best as possible what your priorities are and how we can develop a roadmap together to assist you in reaching your goals.
